Split PDF Into Multiple Files

Enhance your Zapier workflow by integrating this step to split PDF files into multiple files, based on specific page indexes or ranges.

Input

Name	Description	Required
Source PDF URL	Provide the URL to the source PDF document, or a filetoken:// link from PDF.co Built-In Files Storage. If you use another cloud service such as Google Drive or Dropbox ensure the link is publicly accessible.	Yes
Page Numbers/Ranges	Specify a comma-separated list of page number or ranges for processing. Note: The first page is indexed as 1. Use a dash - to specify ranges, e.g., 1,2-5,7-. To indicate a range from a specific page to the end, use a format like 2-. Use an asterisk * to split all pages into files.	Yes
Base Filename for New PDFs	Name for the output files.	No
Custom Profiles	A JSON string which adds options for the conversion process. See Custom Profiles for more.	No

Source PDF URL & Google

When using Google Drive, it’s typically recommended to choose the File option. For more advanced file integration techniques, see Integrating File Sources with pdf.co.

Output

Name	Description
url1	This represents the temporary URL of the output file hosted on the PDF.co file server.
url2	Similarly, this is the temporary URL for another output file on the PDF.co file server. This pattern is used for all output files.
urls	This is an array of temporary URLs, each pointing to an output file.
outputLinkValidTill	A timestamp which indicates how long the url will be available for.
error	Details of any errors (if any).
status	The response status code. If all good this will be 200.
jobId	The unique identifier for the job.
credits	The credits spent on the process.
remainingCredits	The credits left on your account.
duration	The time it took for the process.

Custom profiles

Use Custom Profiles to enhance your workflow with additional processing options. Enter JSON configuration to customize OCR settings, output format, text extraction methods, and more.

Sample JSON

{ "ImageOptimizationFormat": "JPEG", "JPEGQuality": 25, "ResampleImages": true, "ResamplingResolution": 120, "GrayscaleImages": true }

You can use any regular API parameter from the API Reference within Zapier using the std_params feature in profiles. The std_params enables the definition of regular API parameters in a JSON format, See Standard Parameters for detailed documentation and examples.
